This copy is signed by Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, who hosted Lindbergh in Paris after his successful flight. Additionally signed by Charles Lindbergh and dated "March 27, 1928." This first book by Charles Lindbergh was an account of his historic transatlantic flight in 1927, but he was never happy with the publication. To correct this, he published The Spirit of St. Louis in 1953, which he felt accurately described the flight. Spirit of St. Louis went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography in 1954. Charles' wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, was a ghostwriter on the book, and its success is widely attributed to her writing skills. Myron T. Herrick (1854-1929) was an American politician, diplomat, and banker who served as the 42nd governor of Ohio from 1904 to 1906. A Republican, he later became the U.S. ambassador to France from 1912 to 1914 and again from 1921 until his death in 1929. He played a key role in maintaining U.S.-French relations during World War I and was instrumental in assisting Americans stranded in France at the outbreak of the war. Herrick died in Paris on March 31, 1929. The first edition of "We," The Famous Flier's Own Story of His Life and His Transatlantic Flight, signed by Charles Lindbergh and the U.S. Ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick. The only known copy signed by Ambassador Herrick. (illustrator). Signed.

First word of the title and the name of the recipient on colopho…n leaf printed in blue letters. Original publisher s half morocco binding with author s name and title in gilt lettering on spine; lightly worn. This dramatization of an interlude in Goethe's Italian journey is the first book privately printed for the noted Berlin bibliophile Gotthard Laske (1882-1936), a wealthy outfitter, who acted as a generous patron to authors, and commissioned a number of publications. Unique edition, beautifully printed in the New Elzevir type on hand-made paper, limited to 100 copies only: the present copy, number 10, was printed for Lilli Wolff, a member of a Berlin music publishing family. The subject of the play, written in 1919 by the wellknown German writer Albrecht Schaeffer (1855-1950), is Goethe s visit to his friend Heinrich Meyer at Stäfa on the Lake of Zürich in 1797 as part of his celebrated Italian journey. The action is set at the Alte Krone Inn, the main characters being Goethe, Meyer, and a young lady also lodging at the inn.
